Optical Image Stabilizer

MENU

Press [ /SET ] to display the [REC] mode menu and select the item to set. (P26) This mode detects jitter and compensates for it.

•Check that the [O.I.S.] switch on the lens is set to [ON].

[MODE1]		Camera shake is corrected at
(	)	all times in the mode for
		taking pictures. It enables you
		to take pictures with stability
		after deciding on the
		composition using the
		telephoto function.
[MODE2]		Camera shake is corrected
(	)	when the shutter button is
		pressed. The resulting
		correction is more effective.
[MODE3]		Camera shake is corrected for
(	)	up/down movements. This
		mode is ideal for panning (a
		method of taking pictures
		which involves turning the
		camera to track the
		movements of a subject which
		continues to move in a fixed
		direction).

•The stabilizer function may not be effective in the following cases.

–When there is a lot of jitter.

–When the zoom magnification is high.

–When using the digital zoom.

–When taking pictures while following a moving subject.

–When the shutter speed becomes slower to take pictures indoors or in dark

places.

Be careful of camera jitter when you press the shutter button.

•You cannot select [OIS MODE] in the following cases.

–When using a lens that does not have an optical image stabilizer function

–When auto mode [ ] is selected

•The panning effect in [MODE3] is more difficult to achieve in the following cases.

–In brightly lit places such as in broad daylight on a summer’s day

–When the shutter speed is faster than1/100th of a second.

–When you move the camera too slowly because the subject is moving slowly. (The background will not become a blur.)

–When the camera does not keep up with the subject satisfactorily

•We recommend taking pictures with the Viewfinder when panning in [MODE3].
